Steak Salad
How last week’s menu went:
Last week went very smoothly. Gotta love that.
Favorite meal from last week:
I’m going to say that our favorite meal was the Steak Salad, although I can’t take any credit for the steak part because our marvelous friends sent us home with it after a dinner party. But I did make the salad. And I did reheat the steak and slice it. I even made the dressing. So I say it counts. I added some lightly sauteed yellow peppers and loved that addition, too.
I could pick several dishes for second place, but I do want to say that the Make-Ahead Unstuffed Shells were really super easy and yummy and we all loved them.
Make-Ahead Unstuffed Shells
This Week’s Menu Plan
Sunday
- Omelet Bar – cheese, a little bit of leftover ham, spinach, sauteed onions, mushrooms
- steamed broccoli
- homemade vanilla yogurt with blueberries (I use low fat milk and add 1 c. of nonfat powdered milk to thicken)
Monday
- Quick spaghetti and meat sauce: 1 box of spaghetti + 1 pound of cooked ground beef (from my freezer) + 2 jars of spaghetti sauce = happy tummies in a hurry
- green beans
Tuesday
- Buffalo Chicken Salad (new recipe)
Wednesday
- Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers (new crock pot recipe I’m trying)
Thursday
- Chicken Tortilla Soup
- maybe a salad
Friday
- Homemade Pizza with a quick and easy crust (I use part whole wheat flour and knead the dough after mixing)
- raw veggies
Saturday
- Chicken leg quarters (baked with olive oil and McCormick’s Montreal Chicken Seasoning)
- sweet potatoes, I think
- mixed veggies

Thanks for linking me! Hope you like the stuffed peppers!
I’m excited to try them, Katy!
Elizabeth…your food always looks so professionally presented! that salad up top made me wanna lick my screen. yum!
Oh you are so so sweet! I love hearing that, because I don’t really know what I’m doing and I’m just using an old point-and-shoot digital camera. I find that good natural light is my friend for sure! Some of my indoor, dark outside winter pictures were not so hot.
That salad looks SO yummy!
I looked up the shells recipe. What is the difference between cooking cream and say cream cheese or just cream?
That salad was seriously yummy.
I’m not totally sure what the difference is between all of those. I thought the cooking cream would be kind of in-between cream cheese and cream, but it was closer to the thickness of cream cheese. I was thinking about trying a cream cheese and cream or sour cream blend next time or even ricotta or cottage cheese. I’m guessing that would still be good.
i never thought to add a bit of powdered milk to my homemade yogurt- thanks for the tip.
You are very welcome, Tami! I had heard that tip somewhere along the way, but it wasn’t until a real-life friend (Hi Michelle!) told me she was doing it, that I gave it a try. I mix it in while I am heating the milk. It works great. I would say the yogurt is the same thickness as when I used to use all whole milk.
